For anyone trying to transfer files via USB. I've got a terrible workaround. I'm connected to wifi, and, since FTP servers don't want to install, I'm using ES File explorer (Cup Cake version because the newer one won't install from the market) to connect to a shared folder on the network. Transferring files that way sucks but its better than not at all.
[Captivate Android Development] dannb:
Chalk me up as another "home and back keys reversed" issue. On beta 2, and both the new kernel and the initial fugumod one both give me the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I just did the workaround.

1) Install File Manager (Free) from Market. This will install (no compatibility issues).

2) Open the app, under settings, check Root Explorer and Mount System Folders. (Be cautious here after).

3) Go to System folder. Change the permissions (long press) of the build.prop file to read/write/execute by Owner, Group, Other.

4) Edit build.prof in text editor and change the value 200 to 240.

5) Save, revert back the permissions of the build.prop file (this is just a safety precaution).

6) Reboot.

7) After rebooting, clear cache and data of the Market app.

8) Open the market app and click accept button and everything should work file.

Have a nice Ice Cream Sandwich..... :)

Go back to recovery, wipe cache partition, dalvik cache. Install the captivate kernel (beta 1 that can be used for beta 2 rom). Reboot and it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Try using Font Charger (root) from the market. It has a density changer built in. I use on my HD2 all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Haven't seen it asked but got a couple of questions.

1. Is there a setting I haven't found to remove the Google search on the home screen?

2. Is there a way to change the slide left on the lock screen from camera to something else?

Those are just little things. Overall this ROM is great.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
1. Disable google search from manage apps --> all.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Did as you said and it worked apps not saying incompatible in market thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Loving the work and progress. Good job and thank you to the countless devs involved.

Possible bugs to look into (they may just be isolated to me):

a) android.process.media keeps falling on its face when plugged into a PC.

b) There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to mount the phone as a mass storage device and even the one I found fails to mount.

c) (I know this one is likely me with driver issues) I can't see the phone with adb while in recovery. and while I'm booted that damn MTP USB Device keeps failing to install.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
FWIW, I'm using root explorer 2.14.2 with no issues. That was the last version I did a Tibu backup of, just restored from there and its fine.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I can answer "b" and "c" for you.

b. Reboot into recovery, go to Mounts and Storage, scroll to the bottom one, connect your USB, select it and you should be connected

c. download the drivers for the Nexus S
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
When I mount USB through recovery I get "Unable to open ums lumfile (no such file or directory)"

And I'm still getting Code 10 in device manager even with the Nexus S drivers :confused:

C'est la vie
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
What ROM did you come from when you installed ICS? Which version are you running right now?
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I used my Beta 1 GPS on my way home from work. It was actually quite excellent. I did not get the talking instructions. There was no prompt to download Google talk. There is a mute/unmute button but it didn't change anything for me. Couldn't figure out anything else while driving.

On text messaging, i've lost my speach to text feature. Miss that.
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
I can't download from market. it only says download is stopped by an error. Just like that, an error. It doesn't say more.

I changed back to 240 dpi (was on 182 dpi), cleared cache on recovery, reinstalled kennel, cleared market cache and data, and the error persists.

I Don't know what's wrong...

I'm on beta 1 and only modified build.prop wifi and dpi values and the voltage script.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
I was on Cog 5 v2, but I had some connectivity issues. I did an Odin 1 click back to stock 2.1. From there I flashed ICS Beta 2 and the captive kernel beta 1 from the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I have the same market problem, and have tried clearing Download manager cache, Market cache, and Gmail cache. Can't download from Gmail either.

I have no problems downloading from anywhere else, wheather it is from another email or from the web. I have posted about this in the past and hope someone will know what to do.

It sucks not being able to use the market.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
As another small thing that's been mocking me. Going too Storage in settings results in a FC, or more specifically, "unfortunately, setting has stopped"

How to Disable the Google Search Bar in ICS

December 1, 2011 By: admin

Difficulty:

1

In Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has placed a Google search bar on every homescreen. What if you don’t want this search bar? While there is no option to turn it off, XDA member oscillik has found a simple trick to turn the bar off. Just go into Settings>Apps>All>Google Search and hit Disable. The downside to doing this is that your Google Search app will no longer work–but hey, there’s always Google.com!

TAGS: android 4.0, Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), Google

Found it on XDA website, thought I would post for those would wanted to know how to do it. :D
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Have you tried this? Doesn't work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I actually had to disable Google search and 1 more service called Search. That did it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I haven't tried it because it doesn't bother me having the Google search bar on every page. Plus, since we are getting new updates as the ROM progress', I am not sure if the settings would stick [i.e. switching from ICS Beta 1 to Beta 2 to etc...].

I just was reading xda website and saw it, remembered a few people asked about it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
How am I promoting pirated software? Do I have to babysit everyone who reads my post to make sure that they do not pirate the software?

I said this was a workaround. Is it my fault for not putting up a 2-page disclaimer before the post?

Another workaround is to go to the dev's website (Speed Software) and Purchase+Download through your computer browser and then go from there.

Another workaround would be to go back to stock, download Root Explorer 2.17.2 from the Market, Titanium Backup the .apk, flash ICSSGS, use update.zip for Titanium Backup, and restore the Root Explorer that you just backed up.

Oh, make sure that you have bought all the aforementioned software. I am making sure that I am in no way encouraging or promoting pirated software. However, end-user licence agreement stipulates that you purchase the right to use the software, not the method of delivery of the said software to your device. If you bought your Root Explorer, I don't see any problem getting it from the Market, from your SD card, or from a personal/public FTP, etc.

Just sayin'
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
FYI, just noticed that web passwords are stored un-encrypted in

/datadata/com.google.android.browser/databases/webview.db

when selected as "Rember Password".

Probably don't want to use for sensitive passwords.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
If you just said "use root explorer", that would be one thing.

You specifically said to google the apk and use a 3rd party direct download website. The message seems clear to me.

hey guys, coming from teamhacksungs's ICS port....I flashed this last night...i notice how fast this is..no lag at all..but only problem is everything is compressed on my screens...fonts are small...widgets lare taking whole screen...and I cannot make folders...

IS it just me?

Edit: uploaded my home screen

music player not working

thanx for this nice work.everything is working fine except two things

1 = i cannot surf my external sd card.its show blank

2 = music player not working.it get started but no sound,pls help me to get this thing working
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
This is how you change the dpi... someone suggested that 240 is a better setting. Haven't heard about the folders thing before though.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

For external SD card, you have to go into root [with root explorer or some other file manager with root privleges] and go to EMMC. Not to sure on the music player as I use Winamp and not the stock one.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
No need in getting defensive, just trying to point out that Root Explorer is not free, and posting a way for people to DL for free is against XDA policy. Thats all
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
thats an ICS feature, if you drop any app on another app, it creates a folder...I was able to do that in CM's version...

Now i can do for some but cant for some...weird...

Anyone using Navigon USA 4.0 I installed it but it keeps crashing I get the message Navigon has stopped, maybe not compatible with ICS
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I haven't flashed Beta 2 yet, but just curious for anyone who has.

Has anyone download Font Change (root) from the market to change DPI settings? If anyone wants to try, it's free. Just press the menu button and there's an option to change Density. Just change it to 240 and reboot.

It works perfect on my HD2, but haven't seen anyone try it on this. Seems easier than editing build.prop.
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
About the error in market download who just says "error". I had to reinstall the rom (no data wipe) and kernel to get it going again. I modified the build. prop to 182 dpi and the values in voltage script, rebooted and I stil can download. So, the dpi value isn't related to that issue. We got to look elsewhere. Someone with that error was using LBE Security or another app like that? Maybe the protection level was causing it...
[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
I could have just said "use your search function" or "go Google it yourself".

No, scratch the Google part. It might give search results for not only Root Explorer but 2 million other pirated software, images, videos, music and others.

My bad. No need to promote piracy.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
When you reflashed the ROM, did it keep all of your installed apps and where they are and what not? I don't want to reflash if I lose all that information since with this beta version Nandroid does not work.

Yes, everything stayed on place. Just don't clear data of course ;)

Some things work faster, but lag is there on other places, like market, keyboard, transitions, etc.

[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Yeah. A6 was definitely faster though, even if it had some UI hiccups. This is kind of unusable for me. Reminds me of an issue I had with early gingerbread kernels, the phone would crawl to its knees. It also happened with a few CM7 kernels.

Has anybody else experienced their phone going into landscape mode anytime you open an app or settings and stays there? It stays in normal view when your on the home screen but besides that it will just go into landscape and stay there. Obviously all i can do is turn off auto rotate but then i can never use landscape view..
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Is your home button working?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I am not seeing this issue
[Captivate Android Development] Xtracter:
Home button works. i had this issue awhile back on old apex roms and such but all i did was reflash it and then it went away. It will stay in the landscape mode but if flip it 180 degrees to the right from the phone being straight up it will go from being stuck in landscape to being right side up but your looking at it like its in landscape lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
I used Font Changer for you. It works perfectly, though it only let me change the dpi by 20 at a time. Every thing looks huge now, but I think I like it.
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Well you have the right kernel then. Just sounds like you need a reflash
[Captivate Android Development] Xtracter:
so regardless if im on the beta 2 kernel it shouldn't be doing it..
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Well there's the problem. There is no beta 2 kernel. Unless you mean the beta 1 kernel for captivate that's supposed to be used for beta 2

Well after reading a few of the posts after mine I'm glad I've stayed with Beta 1... my phone has no issues at all... All my apps work, Wifi, Bluetooth. It doesn't crash, it's fast. All in all it's a great OS. Video recording would make it complete for me.

Only mod I've done is gone from 240 dpi to 220 dpi on Beta 1... It allows me to see more on the screen at once which is really nice IMO. 200 dpi is even better but then all the menus, home and app screens and icons just look funny.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Cool. Good to know. Guess I'll go ahead and flash it later. Not that I'm too lazy to edit the build.prop, but I'd rather not manually dig into those unless I have to, less margin for error that way.

Great work on the Beta - it has come along way from the original Beta over on the i9000 forum. Strange occurrence is that after some time, the screen grows very dark and unresponsive, but a reboot fixes that.

Noticing a weird issue with beta 1 rom/kernel.. after a few days of use, random apps will start crashing and refuse to start (gapps, talk, browser, reader, word feud, others) Clearing data and cache only alleviates the problem for minutes. The problem doesn't go away until dalvik cache and cache partition are cleared. I'll see if logcat says anything useful the next time I'm blessed with access to a computer.

Edit: figured it out, mtdblock6 (/datadata) is out of space and DB writes are failing causing everything to crash out when an exception is thrown. Noticed mine is only 115.3mb, 115.1mb used.

EditEdit: isn't /datadata supposed to reside on mmcblk0p2 or something? Doesn't seem logical that the browser and a few other apps would have their cache and DB on a 115mb partition.
